anyone else
including
family
members.

- You are
only allowed
one league
Username. If a
duplicate is
found the
multiple

be removed.
- League
Username and
Pogo Screen
name must

tournaments.
- If the two
names are not
the same and
you join a
tournament,
the Host will
remove you
from the
tournament
until you
correct your
names.
Game Play
- Fast play
is a MUST at
ALL times.
- We do not
play rated
games. In this
league, our
games are all
about having
fun and we
work to
maintain that
fun-loving
atmosphere.
- You may
not be in 2
tournaments at
the same time.
If you are
PLAYING at a
table in the
finals of a
previous tour
then you may
jump the next
tour. However,
if you are
still playing
in the
previous
finals when it
is your turn,
you have 5
minutes to get
to the table
or you DQ.
Purposefully
disqualifying
in the
previous
tournament
will result in
a
disqualification
in the new
tournament.
- When you
jump a
tournament
please be in
the lobby 2
minutes prior
to start time.
- Watch the
lobby for
instructions
from your host
for game
rules,
pairings,
etc.... If you
are not at the
table within 5
minutes of
call time you
will be placed
on a 5 minute
timer.
- It is the
member's
responsibility
to be ready to
play on time.
- When hosts
assign
pairings they
will assign
tables as
well. The host
will say
something
similar to
Player1 v
Player2 Table
6 -- This
means the game
is to be
played on
table 6 and
Player1 is to
set. The
player's name
that appears
first in the
pairing is the
one who sets
the table.
- All
players are
responsible
for checking
that their
table is set
correctly. If
a table is set
incorrectly,
the Host will
ask for it to
be reset.
Scores are not
kept and the
game starts
over.
- ALL games
are played
with a 60
second timer.
If a player
gets frozen or
booted from
the table or
lobby, they
are allotted 5
minutes to
find their
seat and
continue play.
If 5 minutes
has passed,
the player is
put on a 5
minute timer.
The timer is
not off until
they are
actually
playing at the
assigned
table. Players
are allowed 2
extensions per
round as well
as 2 timers
per tour; on
the 3rd
extension per
round or 3rd
timer per tour
the player
will be
disqualified.
If a player receives a 2nd extention, the host
will ask if there was play between. If there was, a warning will be
given that the next extention will be a disqualification.
It there was no play betweeen, it is a sign that the player is frozen
and they will be placed on timmer within 3 minutes of the last report for
the extention. After the timer is placed, they will be disqualifed after
five minutes if they are not at table playing. This is a total of 10 minutes
which is our max time for a player not to be present and playing.
- During a
Doubles
Tournament
(2v2), if your
partner is
missing from
the lobby he
or she will be
granted a
substitute
(sub). If your
partner is
missing from
table but
still in
lobby, then
the partner is
given 5
minutes to
find his or
her seat and
continue play.
If 5 minutes
has passed,
the player is
put on a 5
minute timer
and a sub is
requested by
the host. Subs
may not be
members still
playing in the
same
tournament.
- Please do
not take
"timing out"
or
disqualifying
personally. It
happens to us
all. We follow
guidelines to
ensure that
the
tournaments
run as
smoothly as
possible and
are fair to
waiting
players as
well.
- Extensions
do not count
against a
player if they
are asking
game related
questions of
the Host or
waiting on the
Host.
Extensions
also do not
count when a
member returns
to the table
after being
thrust out of
their seat.
- All games
must be played
until the
final score is
totaled and
winner is
determined.
Leaving a
table before
the game is
over results
in a forfeit.
We expect good
sportsmanship
between
players, win
or lose.
- If there
is a tie, the
players will
play one more
hand, same
rules, highest
score wins.
Table Talk
- Absolutely
no table talk
will be
allowed.
- What is
"table talk"?
Chat about a
hand in play
is considered
table talk.
Avoid all
conversations
about the hand
currently
being played.
- Anything
that can be
interpreted as
table talk
should not be
typed. This
includes
telling or
asking your
partner what
to play or not
to play, what
you have or do
not have in
your hand, or
clarifying the
rules. Only
the Host may
answer game
related
questions.
- No private
chats about
the hand or
game is
allowed
between
players
(partners or
opponents)
during a
match. If
there is a
concern,
message only
the Host in
lobby or IM.
- The Host
has sole
discretion in
determining
what is
considered
table talk.
The decision
of the Host is
final.
- If the
Host
determines
that table
talk has
occurred the
team will be
disqualified
and boxing or
banning may be
discussed.
